1. Prefect usage of monochromatic frame

2. Hard-hitting dialogues
Ever since the main protagonist’s voice raises his plight in the narration, the dialogues articulated ends up leaving one with goosebumps. Every word uttered by the heart-broken husband strikes a chord with the viewers. The main phrase ‘I am waiting’ has been twisted and linked with sunlight and the inner fight of the character which enables one to experience what the character feels.

4. Riya’s obsession with makeup
